Chapter 6: The Beginning of Training
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Since most students are illiterate, new students and outer disciples need to arrange for teachers to teach them how to read and digit. For three months, except for eating and sleeping, they spent almost all the time on reading and digits. Finally, most of them can read and digit.
I know a lot of words and understand their meanings. Everyone is full of yearning for martial arts secret books. They know all the characters in the martial arts secret books by heart and know them by heart. Even the naive Xie Hu has done this. Thank you three times.
The two tigers were also encouraged not to embarrass the village.
After three months passed, the senior brother in charge, Qi Yu, finally began to arrange for some of the inner sect disciples and elders who were highly practiced in the sect to teach these new students the key points of the Dragon and Tiger Yang Qi Gong and the methods of performing it. As a sect, the Dragon and Tiger Yang Qigong
The disciple's inner skill and mind method is also a very good skill. After all, it is necessary to cultivate excellent disciples and lay a good foundation for practice. Too poor martial arts will not be effective. Almost all disciples of the sect practice this inner skill and mind method. Except for
Some elders who joined later, almost all the disciples practice this technique, even the leader practices this technique, which is regarded as the secret book of the sect. New disciples can only get the acquired skills part, the innate skills.
The Dharma needs to be advanced and the innate true energy can be released before you can be qualified to practice it.
Dragon and Tiger Yang Qigong requires imitating the posture of dragon walking and tiger walking. It is equipped with illustrations and explanations. There are fourteen pictures in total. The first six pictures are postures, and the next eight pictures are diagrams of the movement of muscles and pulses to punch acupoints. At present, everyone only practices the first six pictures, every morning and evening.
Each practiced for one to two hours, depending on the situation, and persevered. So every day before dawn, there were many students doing various dragon-shaped and tiger-shaped things in the woods southwest of the courtyard.
They were sweating and seemed to be in great pain, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted. Some students could not persist for long, so they often stopped to take a break and continued practicing after their physical strength recovered. Three months after starting, Xie San and his friends also began to join in.
"Cultivation needs to be done step by step, and you must not be greedy for success. When you practice Dragon and Tiger Yang Qigong, you can only practice the first posture at first. Only when you have adapted to the first posture and persisted for at least an hour can you start practicing the second posture.
After practicing to the third posture, you need to change postures in order to complete the six postures. After practicing until a hot air appears in the Dantian, you can guide the hot air in the Dantian to circulate in the muscles and veins in a certain order according to the next eight diagrams.
Hot qi is what we call true qi. True qi can nourish and strengthen the muscles and veins. The true qi will become stronger and stronger by practicing Dragon and Tiger Qigong. When the true qi of the tendons and Dantian is sufficient and the internal breath is surging, the day after tomorrow will be perfect.
, you can try to break through the innateness." Elder Chuan Gong said.
When first starting to practice, new students only need to imitate the posture in the first picture, the longer the better. Xie San was well prepared and assumed the first posture, but soon felt swelling and pain in his veins and could not hold on for long.
Unable to bear it, I gritted my teeth and persisted. I was soon defeated and had to stop to rest and recover, and then continued with the first pose.
The training of basic sword skills is very boring. It means repeating the basic movements of the sword every day, stabbing, cutting, chopping, and teasing... Xie San's goal for himself is to practice all the basics a hundred times a day.
Movements, practice makes perfect, lay a solid foundation for practicing swordsmanship. So every day you can see a stubborn figure waving the sword in his hand, repeating these movements, sweating profusely.
The practice of the Wind Shadow Step was not very smooth either. As the name suggests, the Wind Shadow Step is like a willow breaking in the wind and following the wind like a shadow. The footwork requires unpredictable movements, but there are certain rules for landing. It moves like a rabbit and is as fast as the wind. The movements put a heavy load on the body.
It was very big, and Xie San was often too tired to lift himself up. As a mountain man, Xie San gritted his teeth and persisted, and immediately started practicing again after he recovered. Everyone was holding back their breath, competing for encouragement, and they all persisted.
Currently, new students such as Xie San, in addition to practicing Dragon and Tiger Yang Qigong every morning and evening, they also need to study poetry, songs, and articles for an hour in the morning, and practice basic sword skills and wind shadow steps for two hours in the afternoon. Sometimes they are interspersed with preaching from elders.
